1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic pathogen characterized by high fatality rates and pandemic potential, whereby there is an urgent need for developing safe and effective vaccines. However, the evaluation of NiV vaccine-induced immunity is hindered by the requirement of Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) containment. In this study, we developed a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based pseudovirus-expressing NiV fusion (F) and attachment (G) glycoproteins using a luciferase reporter gene for bioluminescence detection. This pseudovirus was optimized for production in BHK-21 (WI-2) cells, and simultaneous incorporation of NiV-F and NiV-G onto the surface of the pseudotyped virus was confirmed via immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. We evaluated our pseudovirus-based neutralization assay using NiV-F-immunized mouse sera and a commercial anti-NiV-G antibody, confirming robust neutralization by the latter. To establish a BSL-2-compatible model for evaluating in vivo protective efficacy, we performed in vivo imaging, which revealed a marked reduction in the luminescence signal in NiV-G-immunized mice compared to naïve controls, indicating vaccine-induced protection. Our study established an integrated in vitro and in vivo pseudovirus platform using rVSV that enables safe, quantitative, and BSL-2-compatible evaluation of NiV vaccine candidates. This model offers a valuable tool for preclinical screening of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody responses and protective efficacy.
